Looks expensive

The heavy glass comes embossed with a dainty diamond pattern at the bottom, and the colorful but minimalist label looks nothing like typical Bath and Body Works hearts/flowers/rainbows/puppies packaging fare. It totes looks like something I’d find in Neiman’s or Barney’s instead.

A warm, fall scent

To me, Sweet Fig Lotion smells like a mix of white musk, cinnamon and clove. It’s warm and comforting, like a cashmere cable-knit sweater or a cup of hot apple cider — more like a fall scent than a typical summer fragrance.
And I dig it a lot.

You might like Sweet Fig Lotion if…

you have really dry skin that needs a lot of hydration,

you like musky, spicy “fall” fragrances, or

you have a thang for elegant packaging.

I’ve liked everything I’ve tried from the True Blue Morocco collection so far. Sweet Fig’s one of six body products in the line, and like the others it draws inspiration from some of the scents and symbols of the North African country of Morocco.

If you’ve been wanting to give these products a try, Bath and Body Works has a True Blue Morocco sale going on now — buy any two products from the line for $20, a savings of about 30% off the regular price.

One too many vampires!

LOL, I can’t tell you how many times I almost typed “True Blood” in place of “True Blue” in this post.

I’m almost finished watching Season 1 on DVD — just four more episodes left! We don’t have HBO, so I won’t be able to see the second season until it comes out on DVD. Shoot! I may have to wait, what, like a year? Sigh…

So far, 31 people have commented on this article. How cool is that?

Well I am a packaging whore and I really love the shape and design of this bottle. I haven’t yet seen any of the Moroccan products but next time I’m near a Bath & Body Works, I’m gonna check ‘em out!

I just finished season 1 on DVD also, le sigh. I was ALL excited because I went onto Netflix to get disc 6, then realized there was no disc 6! I too will have to suffer through this next year, booo. I’m reading book 5 now though at least.

Ugh, my Tuesday was stressful – I had to go get a license plate for my new car and it was a nightmare!

I love that lotion bottle as well – I love the white with the pop of color. I tried the honey & date body yogurt and totally loved it – I kept sniffing my arm all day. But, I resisted buying it since I have enough lotion to last me a lifetime.

I was in the same boat – no HBO, ran out of True Blood to Netflix – but then my hubby found a place to download the current episodes online, and then we transfer them to the tivo to watch them on our tv. It’s probably not legal – oops.

Ahem, Karen? When you’re don with that bottle, could you rinse it out very, very well and send it to me? I’m so allergic to “musky” scents (well, 99% of scents in general) but the bottle is so pretty!!!

And I’d like to mention that this whole collection is 2 for $20 right now! Immediately after reading this I drove to B&BW, purchased the lotion and the pink (Sweet Fig & something another) showergel, tweeted to you about it, and came back to comment! I’m loving this stuff!

I like “fallsy” scents, esp Bath and Body Works’ other figgy one, Brown Sugar and Fig? Question: does the Morocco collection stuff come in a body cream as well as lotion? I lurrrrve a good thick cream! xoxo

The fig scent doesn’t come in a cream, but the lotion feels really thick — almost like a whipped body butter. You might like a thicker cream from the line called Honey & Date Body Yoghurt for $17.50. It also smells very fall!

looks pretty… but the whole cinnamon/clove thing is not me i’m afraid. i like citrusy/bright or clean/fresh scents as body products.

on an unrelated topic…

i took your advice and bought a dior creme de gloss… i found a color really close to the discontinued dior kiss (squeezy tube) hazelnut lychee – my HG nude! i bought 231 beige silk satin, which suits me better than the sweet praline or fig (both which turned a bit cakey/muddy, respectively) – has a brightening effect that would go well with both daytime and evening looks!

It is super cute. Y’know, if I got a gas mask (the ones the military wears when they tear gas a place) and went into B&BW for the bottle, paid for it and then emptied and washed it out (all whilst wearing the mask) then I could have the bottle for myself. I’d probably get a looooooooot of looks though! Just to think, when I rinse all that lotion out, I could just replace it with a horde of Aveeno lotion. Actually, that sounds like a good idea.

Note to self: Purchase pretty lotion bottle to make my Aveeno look even more expensive than it is all ready.

Well- here is my story: I had this thing for the Dolce & Gabana eye quad called : Stromboli. I finally purchased it from it’s elusive site saks.com for $56.00 Uh!
I open it, use it. and I am unimpressed with its lack of pigment content.
I have all of the new Cover Girl eye enhancers/ metallics/ quads that are maybe $ 5 or $ 6 dollars a pop with plenty of pigment and leave me with plenty of change.
So I say, Arrivederci Dolci & Gabbana and Hello Cover Girl!
You are now my favorite Drugstore find!
